EXAM RESULTS FOR RBI GRADE (B) PRELIMS DECLARED : HERE
There was a different pattern in the exam of RBI since for each section there was different number of question with different timing.
As like for General Awareness there was stimulated time for 45 minutes to solve 80 questions, where as in English it was 20 Minutes for 30 Questions. One can’t move to other section unless time get over.
This was difficult to solve since for Math and english the time provided was much less as per the number of question asked.
There were many candidates who couldn’t able to solve the all the section. In my view the cutoff would go very less, since question were very lengthy.
I was able to solve about 45% in each section except General Awareness where I did 70%. Previous year the cutoff for RBI was ( As per RTI)
